I will be speaking with my PCP about this next week. I'm wondering if it would work to introduce LDN and then proceed with a standard (not slow PMR) prednisone taper until just the LDN is working. If you are not familiar with LDN, here's a reference: https://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/.

Have you discussed replacing prednisone with low dose naltrexone with your doctor or rheumatologist?
